"These
people f***ed me over," Bartz told Fortune's
Patricia Sellers. Bartz upped the ante by going directly after Roy Bostock,
Yahoo Board Chairman. She explained that on a scheduled phone call on Tuesday
evening, Bostock started out with lawyer-speak.

Bartz
fired back at Bostock, interrupting, "Roy, I think that's a script. Why don't you have the
balls to tell me yourself?" After Bostock finished his prepared statement,
Bartz threw in a rather ironic jab of her own to end the conversation; "I
thought you were classier?"

Since
that time, it's been revealed that Bartz will get a $3 million USD lump, plus a
pro-rated bonus of $1 million USD to $2 million USD courtesy
of her severance package. She stands to rack up even more courtesy of her
stock options.
